Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller reflects on Bayern’s emphatic 4-0 win over Hertha Berlin at the Olympiastadion as Bayern claimed the vital three points.

But Bayern stood firm to deny them any real chance.
Muller revealed they noticed the opposition was getting tired, opening up some spaces for them to capitalize. He [Muller] eventually broke the deadlock in the 60th minute after some slack defending by the Berlin defense.
Thomas Müller registered his 12th assist for the season for Perisic’s goal, the highest tally in the league so far. Joining him on the assist charts are Jadon Sancho (10) and Thorgan Hazard (9), respectively.
The performance has been one of the best for Thomas Muller under Hansi Flick this season, and he has shown why he needs to be in the starting lineup every week.
Bayern Munich will face Schalke 04 next.
The Bavarians are priced at 1.20 to defeat Schalke, while Schalke are backed at 14.21.
